My current indulgence is almond butter with some drops of stevia. Yummy but seems to be kind of a sleeping potion!

For me, the problem isn't the sugar or the fat, but rather the starch, which is ultimately just pure glucose. Back in 2003, when I was gorging myself to 190+ pounds, my favorite snack binge was an entire box of Newman-Os, Paul Newman's organic version of Oreos, which I would inhale in a matter of minutes. I'd then sleep off the blood sugar crash and have a few dried dates when I woke up. It was an endless blood sugar roller coaster. But, I can eat a pint of ice cream and be completely satisfied and suffer no blood sugar issues. To crash my blood sugar on ice cream, I have to eat a quart or more, and ice cream just doesn't have that binge driving effect on me that starchy snack foods do. ---In [email protected], <[email protected]> wrote: http://www.foxnews.com/health/2013/10/15/college-study-finds-oreo-cookies-are-as-addictive-as-drugs/
